Gavin Newsom is making nice with Halle Berry after the two clashed over the California governor twice vetoing a state menopause health bill ... and our sources say HB won the battle in the end.

As you know, Halle gave a scathing speech Wednesday at the New York Times' DealBook Summit, where she slammed Newsom for killing the menopause bill while noting he will not be governor forever and probably should not be the country's next president.

On Wednesday night, Newsom's rep issued a statement, saying the governor deeply admires Halle's advocacy and looks forward to working with her on this "critical issue." The rep added Newsom vetoed the bill because it would have "unintentionally raised health care costs for millions of working women and working families already stretched thin."

But, Newsom changed his tune a bit when our cameraman caught up with him Thursday at Newark International Airport in New Jersey, where he ironed out some of the confusion around his skirmish with Halle.

Halle Berry went scorched earth on Gavin Newsom during Wednesday's New York Times' DealBook Summit, calling out the California governor for vetoing a menopause bill while also crapping on his aspirations to potentially become the next president.

The Academy Award-winning actress took the stage at the NYT event to give a speech about menopause, during which she pointed out Newsom had vetoed California's menopause bill two years in a row.

Berry didn't hold back, telling the packed crowd ... "But that's okay, because he's not going to be governor forever, and with the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

"Messy" hitmaker Lola Young suddenly canceled her performance at Audacy's We Can Survive concert Friday night ... and the reasoning seems pretty serious.

The British singer's manager, Nick Shymansky, shared the news on her Instagram Story Friday not long before she was scheduled to take the stage at New Jersey's Prudential Center.

He told fans she had to pull out "due to a sensitive matter" and then shared a note about her mental health, explaining ... "Lola is very open about her mental health and there are very occasionally (sic) days where myself and my team have to take protective measures to keep her safe."

Dr. Oz is tempering President Trump's recent comments on Tylenol use among pregnant women and its possible links to Autism ... clarifying when acetaminophen should be used, and when it should be avoided.

Oz, who is Trump's Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and offered more clarity on a lot of what Trump said during a White House briefing.

Trump went hard on Tylenol and basically told pregnant mothers to never use it and to not give it to their babies ... but Dr. Oz told us there is one circumstance where Tylenol may be necessary.

This isn't funny ... Steve Martin just had to cancel 2 comedy shows with Martin Short because he caught COVID-19.

The comedian shared the news on social media Friday that their "The Dukes Of Funnytown!" tour stop at The Dome in Virginia Beach that night was canceled along with Saturday's stop at Richmond’s Allianz Amphitheater at the Riverfront.

The "Only Murders in the Building" star told fans he "can’t possibly do the shows" they deserve, adding they "will return under better circumstances.😔."

The Swedish Health Minister is sparking concern about her own health ... after going viral for collapsing onstage during a live press conference.

Watch the video, which is spreading like wildfire online ... Elisabet Lann -- who just became the health minister in Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson's cabinet -- is seen slowly falling forward while listening to another person address the press during Tuesday's conference.

The other politicians onstage -- including PM Kristersson -- as well as a few members of the press, then move quickly to tend to Lann, who appears unconscious after taking down her translucent podium.
